Losi Racing Team (distributed by Horizon Hobby) has released the first teaser of the new 1/8 scale nitro Buggy. TLR has a long history of winning competitions around the world and this new nitro buggy will certainly keep elevanting the benchmark.
Today Losi is a super brand, part of the Horizon Hobby family, but back in the days Gil Losi Jr. and his father “Pops” started Team Losi selling homemade aftermarket radio control parts and accessories at their local skatepark snack bar, that later turned into a mini hobby shop.
Over the next ten years they purchased the famous “Ranch Pit Shop” and dedicated over three years to develop their first race-dedicated RC vehicle: the now-iconic JRX2. The original JRX2, with its graphite chassis and 5-link suspension, pushed the boundaries of what a competitive RC racer should be and is known today as one of the most innovative cars of all time.
Paying homage to the innovations that have shaped the RC culture, the new Mini-JRX2 combines nostalgia with a touch of present day. This ultra-scaled down version of the vintage buggy is designed as a tribute to the memory of the original JRX2.
Losi released the Hammer Rey U4: a SMART, Ready-to-Run Rock Racer with AVC. This truck is officially licensed and based off Casey Currie’s U4 Racer with a Spektrum 3150Kv brushless motor and managed by the Smart 130A ESC, 6-channel DSMR AVC/telemetry receiver, and the new DX3 transmitter that provides Spektrum Smart feedback including live battery voltage.
Along with the officially licensed design, the Hammer Rey includes KMC wheels, Nitto tires, and additional details such as new shock reservoirs, fire extinguishers, and new light bars.
Recently Losi released the Mini-B Pro Roller. Featuring TLR 2WD buggy engineering and performance in a 1/16th package, this mini buggy is terrain-tearing and track-ready that offers racers a chance to customize and finish their Mini-B the way they want. The 1/16th scale is stable on the track generating quicker speeds and improved handling.
In the video below the legendary factory drivers Ryan Cavalieri and Dakotah Phend play around with a couple of Losi Mini-B.

New over at Horizon Hobby is the the Losi Ford Raptor Baja Rey 2022 Mint 400 Limited Edition: the perfect way for off-road enthusiasts to own a piece of Losi and Mint 400 history. This RC model comes equipped with a Spektrum Firma 3800Kv brushless power system, as well as a solid rear axle, independent front suspension, and appropriate suspension geometry, so you can tear across all types of desert off-road terrain.
The Mint 400 is the oldest and most prestigious off-road race in USA and is held each March in the treacherous foothills of Sin City. The multi-day event features a massive vehicle parade down the world famous Las Vegas Strip, a two day festival on historic Fremont Street, and two days of grueling off-road racing on a desolate and punishing 400-mile racecourse.

Built big and bold to deliver high-impact excitement, the DBXL 2.0 makes its presence known with a roaring new Zenoah 32cc engine.
A new high-flow air filter allows the engine to breathe to create maximum horsepower.
